Ali: I know. I looked at the weather
report
last night and it was supposed to be a
nice
day. Thatís the last time I trust those
weathercasters! I hate getting
caught in the rain. Iím soaking
wet.

Margo: When I felt a raindrop on my
head this morning, I should have known that
we
were in for a big rainstorm. Right
then, I
should have gone back into my house to get
an
umbrella, but as usual, I was running
late.

Ali: I canít believe I have to go out on sales
calls
today. Iím not looking forward to getting back
in
my car when itís raining cats and
dogs
out there.

Margo: Somebody in this office must have an
umbrella you can borrow for the day. Iíll go
see.
